Doesn't need an MOT for another 3 years and has only done 300 miles.
Quite unique, rather than take the traditional fibreglass rear-end approach it is sporting exposed rear suspension and small wheel arches.
With the exception of the dashboard and nose cone, the whole of the body (including arches) is hand formed aluminium.
The paint is black-textured Raptor and again is quite different, people tend to want to come up to it and stroke it!
An almost perfect 50:50 weight distribution (51.5% front, 48.5% rear) and weighs in at a spritely 558kg with a full tank of fuel so handles superbly.
Engine produces 160bhp (286bhp per tonne) with an almost flat torque curve (mapped by DanST Engineering) so it is possible to change from 2nd to 5th and still accelerate.

Blistering performance, turns heads everywhere.
Currently has a power to weight ratio of 286bhp per tonne, given that it is running carpets, original (IVA friendly) Sierra steering wheel and a full sized battery this could easily be improved upon.
It's an awesome road car or equally could become a track day weapon.
Reason for sale:
I simply have a lot of projects, 5 cars and a motorbike at the moment. All being told I enjoy the building more than the driving so now it's time to move this one on and make some space.
Car is located in Cheshire (CW2), 10 mins from M6 J16.
